I'm trying to create a custom BANNER block with the goal of no having to specify block properties for every instance that I use it for.
 
So far i have created a copy of:
blocks/block_banners.php
-> blocks_custom/block_banners_header_CUSTOM.php
 
templates/user/block_banners,html
--> block_banners_header_CUSTOM.html
 
Within block_banners_header_CUSTOM.php I have changed the default template to point to the new template
 
I have also within VIART - CMS Blocks, created an entry for the new custom block and replicated the default banners block settings. Then I have place the block onto the page (above the header block)
 
I have also modified the header.html file to include a reference {header_banner} at the appropriate location on the page.
 
My problem is that for it to work I need to still set the TAG_NAME property to be header_banner for the block for it to appear on the page correctly.
 
Can anyone advise on how to avoid having to still specify the TAG_NAME for the block - which I think is required to be put into the PHP file.
